    Solar versus AC Heat Recovery Pool Heater

    Originally posted by OvertheSun
    Has anyone installed an air conditioner heat recovery systems (e.g., Hot Spot Energy) or compared them to solar pool heaters? We have a solar pool heater but are considering replacing or moving it to accommodate solar PV panels. We are also considering AC upgrades and possibly a pool heating add-on. The manufacturer claims that they increase the AC efficiency and are effective at heating your pool. Makes sense to me, but I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts or experiences?
    Hello, I have not installed an air conditioner heat recovery system but I have an idea about solar pool heaters which work very efficiently and effectively. I would like to suggest you that you should not replace it because solar pool heating with solar panels is the best way to heat a swimming pool and plays a vital role in heating. It can raise the temperature of swimming pool quickly and saves energy and time too.

        I hope you are speaking of solar thermal panels for heating water, which is several times more efficient than using PV panels to electrically heat water.

            Yes Mike, I am talking about solar pool heaters which include solar thermal panels to heat water of swimming pool. And you are right, solar thermal panels are more efficient than PV panels. Thanks for the reply mike.

                You use a solar pool heater in Indore?
